PART I

Item 1.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Overview

Brainworks Ventures, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), provided funding and business consulting services to early-stage technology companies by developing, investing in, acquiring or acquiring interests in, and operating such companies. The Company also sought to work with universities, corporations, research laboratories, government economic authorities and individual investors to foster the commercialization of new concepts and technologies.

On April 1, 2003, AAHoldings Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Georgia corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, merged with and into AssuranceAmerica Corporation, a Georgia corporation (“AssuranceAmerica”), and a property and casualty-oriented holding company, focusing on the non-standard automobile insurance markets. AssuranceAmerica survived the merger and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

To effect the merger, AAHoldings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, merged with and into AssuranceAmerica , for the purpose of converting the limited liability company into a corporation. Thereafter, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization by and among the Company, AAHoldings Acquisition Sub, Inc., AAHoldings, LLC and AssuranceAmerica, dated April 1, 2003 (the “Merger Agreement”), the shareholders of AssuranceAmerica exchanged an aggregate of 19,508,902 shares of AssuranceAmerica common stock, no par value, on a 1-for-1 basis, for shares of common stock, $0.01 par value, per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”).

Due to an insufficient number of authorized shares of Company Common Stock, the shareholders of AssuranceAmericacontinue to hold an aggregate of 23,241,098 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value, of AssuranceAmerica (“AssuranceAmerica Preferred Stock”), which stock, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, will be converted into shares of Company Common Stock, at such time when the authorized number of shares of Company Common Stock is increased to a number sufficient to exchange each share of AssuranceAmerica Preferred Stock for one share of Company Common Stock. Upon conversion, the former shareholders of AssuranceAmerica will hold a total of 42,750,000 shares of Company Common Stock. Such conversion will occur simultaneously with the increase in the number of authorized shares of Company Common Stock. A special meeting of the stockholders of the Company was held on June 26, 2003 to vote upon a proposal to increase the number of authorized shares of Company Common Stock to permit such conversion of the AssuranceAmerica Preferred Stock. The proposal was approved by the shareholders.

The Merger Agreement also effected a change in the executive officers of the Company and contemplates a majority change in the Board of Directors of the Company. As of April 1, 2003, Marc Schwartz and Cole Walker resigned from their positions as directors and executive officers of the Company, with Donald Ratajczak remaining as the sole member of the Board of Directors of the Company. To fill these vacancies on the Board, Guy W. Millner and Lawrence Stumbaugh were appointed by Mr. Ratajczak as directors of the Company, following the fulfillment of the requirements of Rule 14f-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). On April 1, 2003, Mr. Stumbaugh was appointed as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

As a result of the aforementioned merger, the Company has ceased its historical business in order to focus upon the insurance business of AssuranceAmerica. AssuranceAmerica focuses on the non-standard automobile insurance marketplace, primarily in Florida and Georgia. Its two principal operating subsidiaries are AssetAmerica Insurance Agencies (acquired in 1998), which sells personal automobile insurance policies through its 26 retail agencies, and AssuranceAmerica Managing General Agency. Established in 2000, AssuranceAmerica Managing General Agency develops and markets insurance products, underwrites insurance risks, adjusts insurance claims and binds new policies. In 2002, these two subsidiaries of AssuranceAmerica wrote an aggregate of approximately $56 million dollars in premiums. A third subsidiary, AssuranceAmerica Insurance Company, began writing business in the state of Georgia in April, 2003.

On February 14, 2001, the Company acquired all the outstanding capital stock of eBusinessLabs, Inc., a privately-held Georgia corporation now known as Brainworks Ventures Labs, Inc. (“BVL”), for approximately 800,000 shares of the Company Common Stock. BVL seeks to develop university affiliated venture development labs designed to assist the launch of business ventures.


1



On May 8, 2001, the Company acquired all the outstanding capital stock of Executive Venture Partners, Ltd., a privately held Massachusetts company (“EVP”), for 500,000 shares of the Company Common Stock. EVP provides consulting services to develop and implement corporate venturing strategies for Fortune 2,000 companies by offering advice and recommendations related to asset development and value maximization. EVP holds a non-exclusive license to use an asset commercialization methodology. This license may be revoked upon the happening of certain events specified in the Amended and Restated License Agreement between EVP and Robert H. Cawly dated March 6, 2001.

As of March 31, 2003, the Company had three wholly-owned subsidiaries: Auric Minerals Corporation, a Nevada corporation, EVP and BVL. The Company has ceased the operations of all three of its subsidiaries.

History

The Company originally incorporated in 1969 under the laws of the state of Utah. In 1985, the Company became a Nevada corporation by merging with a Nevada corporation that was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company created solely for the purpose of changing the Company’s state of domicile. Prior to May 2000, the Company was principally engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of interests in various natural resource properties, primarily through participation with other parties in natural resource joint ventures or other arrangements. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001, the Company sold its ownership interests in all natural resource properties held by the Company as described below.

Disposition of Interest in Ivanho Property

The Company also held a leasehold interest in 85,000 acres of property located near Elko, Nevada (the “Ivanho Property”). In October 2000, the Company sold its entire leasehold interest in the Ivanho Property to Mr. Fouts for $200,000.

Employees

The Company currently has one full time employee and AssuranceAmerica has 149 full time employees. None of these employees are represented by a labor union.

Item 2.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

Effective August 31, 2002, the Company terminated its lease of 101 Marietta Street, Suite 3450, Atlanta, GA. The corporate headquarters of the Company and AssuranceAmerica is RiverEdge One, Suite 600, 550 Interstate North Parkway, Atlanta, Georgia 30328.

There can be no assurance that such factors or other factors will not affect the accuracy of such forward-looking statements. The Company does not assume any duty to publicly update these forward-looking statements. The Company strongly recommends that the discussion and analysis set forth below be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained elsewhere herein.

Overview

The Company provided funding and business consulting services to early stage development companies by developing, investing in, acquiring or acquiring interest in and operating such companies.

The Company also provided consulting services to commercialize new concepts and intellectual property developed by universities, research laboratories and other large commercial companies.

During the past two years, the Company has incurred significant losses from operations and such losses are expected to continue. Due to the lack of adequate working capital and business prospects, in 2003, the Board decided to cease operating its historical businesses in anticipation of consummating a merger with AssuranceAmerica on April 1, 2003. Since the consummation of the merger with AssuranceAmerica, the Company has focused upon offering automobile insurance coverages through the operating subsidiaries of AssuranceAmerica. The operating subsidiaries of AssuranceAmerica include: AssuranceAmerica Managing General Agency, AssuranceAmerica Insurance Company, and AssetAmerica Insurance Agencies.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Within the 90 days prior to the date of filing of this annual report on Form 10-KSB/A, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14). Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and are effective to ensure that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.

Report of Independent Public Accountants

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Brainworks Ventures, Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of Brainworks Ventures, Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholder’s equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. The consolidated financial statements of Brainworks Ventures, Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2002, were audited by other auditors whose report dated June 12, 2002, on those statements included an explanatory paragraph describing conditions that raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Brainworks Ventures, Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2003 and the results of its consolidated operations and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization and Nature of Operations

Brainworks Ventures, Inc. (“Brainworks”), together with its subsidiaries, referred to as the “Company,” is a Nevada corporation that ceased operations as of March 31, 2003. The Company formerly provided funding and business consulting services to early stage technology companies. As described in note 9, effective April 1, 2003, the Company has entered the property and casualty insurance industry through a merger with AssuranceAmerica Corporation.

On February 14, 2001, Brainworks acquired Brainworks Ventures Labs, Inc., formerly known as eBusinessLabs, Inc. (“BVL”), which formerly provided business-consulting services to early stage technology companies.

On May 8, 2001, the Company acquired Executive Venture Partners, Ltd. (“EVP”), which formerly provided consulting services to develop and implement corporate venturing strategies to corporations and research laboratories.

The acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, BVL, EVP (from May 8, 2001) and Auric Minerals Corporation (which is currently inactive). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Investments

Investments consist of equity securities classified as available for sale. Investments in non-marketable securities are carried at cost as adjusted for declines in value which are other than temporary in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are included in earnings and are determined on the specific identification method.

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets, consisting of office equipment, furniture and fixtures and leasehold improvements, are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the term of the lease or useful life of the improvements.

Goodwill

The Company adopted SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” on April 1, 2002. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill, which represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired, and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are no longer amortized but will be tested for impairment at least on an annual basis in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142.

Goodwill is tested for impairment at least on an annual basis. The impairment test involves a comparison of the fair value of each of the reporting units as defined under SFAS No. 142, with its carrying amount. If an asset’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, then such asset is considered to be impaired. The impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the reporting entity being measured exceeds its fair value, up to the total amount of its assets. The Company expects to perform its impairment tests during the fourth quarter of each year.

Prior to April 1, 2002, goodwill was amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected period to be benefited, which was estimated to be three years.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is generated from consulting fees and is recognized when services are performed by the Company.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for expected future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of the existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”). The provisions of SFAS 123 allow companies to either expense the estimated fair value of employee stock options or to continue to follow the intrinsic value method set forth in Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB No. 25”), but disclose the pro forma effects on net income had the fair value of the options been expensed. The Company has elected to apply APB No. 25 in accounting for its employee stock option grants.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic and diluted loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Stock options and warrants have not been included in the diluted loss per share calculation as their inclusion would have been antidilutive. Potential common shares not included in the calculation of net loss per share for the year ended March 31, 2003, and 2002 are as follows:

 

 

 

2003

 

2002

Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, amounts due from employees, prepaid expenses and other current assets, investments in non-marketable equity securities, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value based on the nature of those items.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company adopted SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations”. Under SFAS No. 141, all acquisitions subsequent to June 30, 2001, must be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and goodwill is no longer amortized but is reviewed annually (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise) for impairment. Separable intangible assets acquired in a business combination that are not deemed to have an indefinite life will continue to be amortized over their useful lives.

Acquisitions

On May 8, 2001, Brainworks consummated its acquisition of EVP. The transaction was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. EVP was acquired for 500,000 shares of Brainworks’ common stock with a fair value of $554,000.

The fair value was based on an independent appraisal and the purchase price was substantially attributed to goodwill. The stock issued in the acquisition is entitled to “piggy-back” registration rights. Certain shareholders of EVP were also shareholders or directors of Brainworks prior to the acquisition. Such shareholders or directors received 390,000 shares of the total shares exchanged in the acquisition of EVP.

The assets acquired, liabilities assumed and the cost of the acquisition was as follows:

Investments

The investments consist of non-marketable equity securities and are carried at cost as adjusted for declines in value which are other then temporary. The Company determined the decline in the fair value of the non-marketable securities to be other than temporary and recorded a realized loss of $33,000 and $238,000 for the years ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

(5)

Goodwill

Goodwill acquired in the acquisitions of BVL and EVP of approximately $2,580,000 and $575,000, respectively, was recorded at the date of the acquisitions.

For the year ended March 31, 2002, the Company recorded amortization expense related to goodwill of $1,137,000 based on an estimated useful life of three years. The Company also recorded an impairment charge related to goodwill of $1,630,000 for the year ended March 31, 2002.

In accordance with SFAS No. 142 the Company recorded an impairment charge related to goodwill of $267,000 for the year ended March 31, 2003.

Stock Options

Stock Options Plan

Options to purchase common stock under the Company’s 2000 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) can be granted to employees and directors. Under the Plan, up to 5,000,000 shares may be granted. The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors, which determines the terms of the options granted, including the exercise price, the number of shares subject to option, and the option vesting period. The exercise price of all options granted under the plan must be at least 100% of the fair market value on the date of grant. Options generally have a maximum term of five to six years and vest over two years.

Value of Options Granted to Employees

For disclosure purposes, the fair value of all stock options granted is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. No stock options were granted by the Company for the year ended March 31, 2003. The following weighted average assumptions were used for stock options granted by the Company during the year ended March 31, 2002:

The net increase in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets in 2003 was $271,000. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

At March 31, 2003, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes of approximately $3,033,000 which expire in varying amounts beginning in the year 2020. Utilization of the net operating losses carried forward will be limited under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code as the Company experienced an ownership change greater than 50%. Accordingly, certain net operating losses may not be realizable in future years due to this limitation.

Private Placement

Between September 2001 and January 2002, the Company raised net proceeds of $425,000 (net of expenses of approximately $9,000) in a private placement offering of its securities. Pursuant to the offering, the Company sold 144,918 shares of its common stock for $3.00 per share and issued 144,918 warrants to buy the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $5.50 per share (“Warrant I”). Each Warrant I is exercisable over a five-year period from the date of issuance, and when exercised, the holder receives one share of common stock and another warrant to buy the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $8.25 per share (“Warrant II”). Each Warrant II is exercisable over a five-year period from the date of issuance, and when exercised the holder receives one share of common stock and a third warrant to buy the Company’s common stock at an exercise of $12.375 per share.

Subsequent Event

On April 1, 2003, pursuant to an agreement and plan of mergers and reorganization, the Company merged with AssuranceAmerica Corporation. The purpose of the merger was to facilitate the Company’s entrance into the property and casualty insurance industry. The combination was a reverse acquisition and was accounted for as a purchase with the Company as the acquired entity.

The Company issued 19,508,902 shares of common stock on April 1, 2003 and anticipates issuing 23,241,098 additional shares at such time as the authorized number of common shares is increased to a number sufficient to complete the transaction. As a result of the merger, the existing shareholders will have approximately 5% ownership in the new entity.
